Welcome to the second book in the Culinary Cookbook Celebration of Black History! Today I’m sharing with you my next pick which is Creole Feast by Chef Nathaniel Burton and New Orleans civil rights activist Dr. Rudy Lombard. On the cover it’s described as “15 Master Chefs of New Orleans Reveal Their Secrets” and I must say this book is beyond phenomenal! As we all know, New Orleans is a place like no other in the United States and the world, especially when it comes to its Black impact on food and history.

I’ve been enjoying the Culinary Cookbook Celebration of Black History series so far and I hope you have too! Today’s recipe is the first where I’m selecting a foundational recipe from one of the cookbooks and turning it into something brand new. We recently learned all about The Ebony Cookbook by Freda DeKnight and the selected recipe was the Everyday Cake. This cake is truly versatile due to its lightness and strength, as its ability to pair well with various ingredients. Because of these characteristics, I knew it would be perfect to make Strawberry and Kumquat Mini Trifles!
